Abstract
This chapter examines Aymer de Valence's role in the peace negotiations between Edward II and the magnates from June 1312 to October 1313. Tensions ran high during the period between Piers Gaveston's death in June 1312 and the settlement of October 1313 by which the Earl of Cornwall's opponents were formally pardoned for their involvement in his pursuit and execution. Negotiations to try to resolve the crisis began in the late summer of 1312 and achieved some outward success in the preliminary peace settlement between the King and his baronial enemies in December 1312. The chapter first considers the Earl of Pembroke's attempts to organise and carry out the royal diplomacy of 1312 as well as Edward II's attitude toward the Ordinances before discussing his role in the implementation of the peace treaty between the King and the magnates.
